Bruno Cassinari (29 October 1912 – 26 March 1992) was an Italian painter and sculptor who worked in a style that mixed cubist and expressionist elements.

Cassinari was born in Piacenza, a city in Italy’s Emilia Romagna region.

He attended the local art school but eventually decided to move to Milan, where he studied painting at the Brera Academy under Aldo Carpi.

In 1946, he helped find the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, an association aiming to restore optimism to post-war Italian art.
